So the reason I suggested the dried blood is the whole point of weathered look. When you go for this style, you want it to tell a story. The time you were in a fight with Sabertooth. Dried blood, maybe the left side is a little more dirty and sanded down because you were knocked down and slid across the ground. Etc
Very interesting, I didn't try to weather the black at all. I'll continue my story !
Do you think the wings should be "metal" (so chipping and stuff) ou more like a composite ? It will affect my direction. So far I aim towards the composite for this particular cowl
So unless you're very good with special effect painting, I wouldn't go too fast, just enough so that if anyone wants to stop you and look at it you can be like, yes, I got that from the fight blah blah blah. I think a composite to fit the bill. Metal scratches and bends, that would be a harder story to tell. Composite holds and gets grainy and dirty, which is what I think you're going for.
Brilliant ! Thank you so much for your valuable input, I really appreciate it !
Of course. I'd love to see the finished product.
Sure ! I'll post an update. It will take a while. I am working on the full suit and I really want to be coherant
I'll be sure to tag you :)
